We will thoroughly feature heatstroke, now called the "midsummer national illness," continuing from last week! In recent years, the number of days with record-breaking heat has been increasing. Last year, the number of locations that recorded temperatures of 40°C or higher reached a record high of 30 locations nationwide. The Japan Meteorological Agency defines days with a maximum temperature of 40°C or higher as "extreme heat days" and is calling for caution against dangerous heat. In other words, the risk of heatstroke outdoors is increasing accordingly. Therefore, this time, we asked a specialist about outdoor heatstroke countermeasures based on the experiences of those who have suffered from it.
